Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. IN NEED OF LOCAL FOSTER OR ADOPTER / AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT Meet Theo! Theo is approx. 2 years old (approx. DOB 7-22-24, male, 74 lbs., vetted, and is or will be neutered! Theo is a handsome, large dog who adores kids, has medium energy, and is a social butterfly. He does well with puppies and other dogs. He is great with females and does fine with males after a proper introduction. Theo knows basic obedience in his current host home. Theo is an athletic, happy, playful dog who absolutely loves water! Swimming and playing in the pool are some of his favorite activities. He is obsessed with toys and enjoys carrying them around and entertaining himself. He does well with baths, enjoys being blown dry, and tolerates nail trims. He thrives on interaction and enrichment (both physical and emotional) and has an excellent recall. Theo would love an active family that understands enrichment and management. A fenced yard would be a positive. He would love a home with another friendly dog, especially a female, but would also do well as an only dog. His ideal family would enjoy outdoor activities and be committed to providing plenty of toys and mental stimulation. He would thrive in a family setting with children. Stay tuned for more information as Theo is a new rescue!

Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
